Subject: is smoking a sin? |
Bible Note: Hi Brenda, The advice I've got when I was a smoker then is 1Cor6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. Thus we know smoking is bad for our body and will we not dishonor God if we defile our body? Anyway, God is good. He took away my 25 yrs habit in one evening outside my church 1 year ago and I never took another one since then. No yearnings, no withdrawl symptons. I believe with the prayers from my fellow bros and sis and of course His grace was I able to kick the habit just like that. I suppose getting rid of my habit was one of His ways towards my change. I did not try, He just took it away. Praise the Lord. |
